Ballet & Pointe
What is learned in ballet class is carried over to many other dance genres. Classical ballet requires grace and poise. Ballet develops core strength, flexibility, and body alignment. Ballet basics are learned by doing steps at the barre, center floor work, and across the floor exercises. Dedicated dancers advance to Pre-Pointe classes designed for core conditioning and strengthening of leg and feet muscles. Pointe classes are then available for advanced ballet students who are ready to dance in pointe shoes.
Little Hoppers
This class is a hip hop class for our littlest students. They will learn the basics of hip hop dance in addition to dance classroom etiquette, how to work together as a group, and performance skills.
​Hip hop
Hip hop dance is a vibrant form of "street" dance that combines a variety of freestyle movements to create a piece of art. Hip hop choreography is consciously in tune with the music, beats, and grooves of hip hop music. It has evolved into one of the most popular and influential styles of dance.
​Jazz
Jazz dance is a form of dance that combines both African and European dance styles. This high-energy dance has a liveliness that sets it apart from traditional dance forms, such as classical ballet. This class includes warm-ups, isolations: where we focus on moving one body part, center work, and across the floor exercises. Dancers respond to the music with their body movements, changing their motions with the musicians’ spontaneous instrumental creations.
​Lyrical
Lyrical dance includes balance, flexibility and control utilizing the lyrics and feeling of the music. Fluidity, strong emotions, and physicalization of song lyrics are distinguishing elements of lyrical dance choreography.
​Musical Theatre
Musical Theatre is mainly a jazz dance style class. We add acting and lip-synching to our dances to make it more like a Broadway show.
Tap
Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Students learn timing, rhythm, and musicality. As the feet and ankles develop and become more flexible, the dancer learns more complicated rhythms such as syncopation.
​Preschool and Kinder
These classes consist of ballet and tap technique. We do fun exercises and creative movements to work on balance and coordination. Dancers will also learn dance classroom etiquette. These classes perform two separate numbers in our end-of-year recital!
​Acro Dance
Acro Dance is a style of dance that combines classical dance technique with precision acrobatic elements. It is defined by its athletic character, its unique choreography, which seamlessly blends dance and acrobatics, and its use of acrobatics in a dance context.
